As you know, the coronavirus is present in Minnesota. To date, there are 14 confirmed cases. All of the confirmed cases are related to travel. According to the Minnesota Department of Health, individuals nineteen years old or younger are deemed to be the lowest risk. I want all to know that staff and board members of Jennings Community School will do everything to ensure the highest health, safety and communication practices.

I want to assure you that our school is keeping track of this situation through proven and trustworthy sources: the Minnesota Department of Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These health officials believe the risk to our school community is low at this time.
